Sort order within a Table Matrix in SSRS 2012

I need some help with a Table Matrix/Drill through report, sort order. My report looks something like this

Account      Name         JNumber       AmountNet  
0133266      New Jets                   12469.86

The AmountNet is a Sum of the drill through data

You click on the report Name field and it opens up as follows

Account    Name       JNumber     AmountNet  
0133266    New Jets    1            900.00  
                       2            163.86  
                       3             90.00  
                       4          10506.00  
                       Total      12469.86

What I want to do is when the report is in its original state i.e. before you click any of the names to see how the AmountNet is made up, is order it by the AmountNet column descending. If there is any other information that you need please let me know.

You need to change the sort order of the groups. Right click on the group and get into the Group Properties. Use the Sorting section to sort by an expression:

=SUM(Fields!AmountNet.Value)

MSDN has this to say:

Tablix data region group. Set sort expressions for each group, including the details group, to control the sort order of group instances. For example, for the details group, you control the order of the detail rows. For a child group, you control the order of group instances for the child group within the parent group. By default, when you create a group, the sort expression is set to the group expression and to ascending order.
